If looking to be near a campground but still out on your own then this is the place. I got lucky enough had the place to myself for almost 2 weeks, give or take the few groups that tried to tough the biting fish. I will share a tip. They seem to sit dormant at 10pm and 3am for a hour each. No biting. Please clean behind as you found it.
Guide
Great park if you want to get outside, but still want access to civilization.
Park is somewhat of a mix between wetland and forest. While this is an awesome ecosystem with lots to see and explore - take bug spray! Especially if going in May - when the Horseflies are out. We made the mistake of forgoing the Off and got eaten alive. This is our fault, and not the parks, though.
The park is conveniently located just outside of Beaumont. In fact, you may feel like you haven’t left the city until you are there. This can be helpful if you want to grab a bite and not cook, or if you run short of supplies. I would recommend this park especially for someone new to camping.
GuideGreat stop along our way. Nice staff. Clean bathrooms. Good hiking and biking trails. Campspots are well wooded. A little wet this time of year but to be expected.
TravelerNo signage for where to camp, roads closed as well as the office. On to the next one.

Easy to get to, we were the only camper here. Some fishermen down on the water during the day but we were the only campers. Our 42’ 5th wheel fit nicely on the gravel patch by the cement picnic table. Only rules are to register (info on the sign, free but you have to call the number) and don’t park on the grass (there were some day use people parked on the grass but they want campers on the gravel) - can’t beat it for free.
GuideDoing a bit of primitive camping. The sites are top notch. Away from any automobile noise. Porta Johns in the parking lot. Showers are a short bike ride away.

Great place other than the mosquitoes Lucky it was windy when we arrived but left the next morning
TravelerPretty big place with lots of trees. It’s a large open area, but it’s usually not busy in the wintertime. Nice place to go fishing there’s a small doc
TravelerThe Mosquito Coast Dec 2022• We had RV campground reservations for 3 nights but left after one because of the mosquitoes. I had read reviews and came prepared with Thermacell repellent and DEET spray but were overwhelmed by the mosquitoes. My Labrador had mosquitoes swarming him. The campground and park is surrounded by a marsh. The mosquitoes are not bad on the beach where there is a breeze. The park rangers are very nice and the campground itself is nice with spacious flat spots with electric and water hook ups. A dump station is available. Verizon coverage is poor. About half the RV spots were used however I only saw one other camper outside of their RV while we were there. I guess everyone else stayed inside their RV because of the mosquitoes. If you are a first time beach camper to the Texas Gulf Coast, try boondocking on the beach here or further down the Bolivar Peninsula near Crystal Beach. You need to be away from the marsh where the breeze keeps the mosquitoes away.
TravelerNice free camp, we found a spot to drive back a little bit so we could set up camp tucked away.
GuideI got the camping permit just by calling the phone number at the entrance, they provide me an email to sent my driver license and car type. That’s it, they sent me back the permit. Everything is free. There are restrooms and showers. Calm and chill place to sleep. Fishing and camping, that’s the vibe always. Great place.
LegendWe stopped here for one night traveling from Florida to Texas. Small but nice park. Stayed in site # 22. Sites are long and narrow but plenty of shade. Park has some trails and creek area. Bathrooms were excellent!!! Park was not busy at all. Great for stopover as it's not far from I-10.
LegendThis is a small hidden state park that has rustic beauty. 25 campsites with electric and water, that can be used for campers or tents (tent pads at each site). We camped with a 27 ft camper, with barely enough room. Slightly unlevel, needed 2 blocks on left side. Each site has a tent pad, table, and firepit. There is a dump station. Extremely clean shower and bath house. Several hiking and biking trails, as well as a small beach area, kayaking, fishing, gazebo and playground. A nature center was on site which has activities for families on the weekends! Walk in tent camping without electric and water available. Our site #4 was only 16 dollars a night. Park rangers and camp hosts were knowledgeable and kind.
TravelerI love all the trees although it's not great if you're trying to charge up your solar panel. There is a small neighborhood nearby so you will hear kids playing. Otherwise it's very peaceful, we had the whole place to ourselves.
Legend25 standard RV sites with water & electric. $16, plus some walkin tent sites. Arrived on a Monday night with no reservation; no problem getting a nice site (#19). The young lady checking us in was very nice & helpful. The campground was clean & well maintained. The restroom/shower house was exceptionally clean. Most sites appear to be close to each other, but trees & shrubbery between sites provided some privacy. Sites were also narrow, but long. Enough room for a camper & tent. A few big rigs had difficulty with backing into a site. Pretty state park. Includes a hiking trail. Good AT&T & T-Mobile cell service.
RangerNot a great beach to camp on in stormy weather. No rock/sea wall to slow the surge or wave action. Price is right at $10 plus day use fee. RV camp with paved pads is nice. Reserve far in advance if you want to see bird migration activity. The drive through the LNG plants is interesting.
TravelerThis was a great spot on the gulf - we needed a winter get-a-way.
Our campsite #12 was right on the marsh and very private. The kayak trails are really fun to navigate - check the tide tables before paddling out at low tide!
TravelerClose to home for us. Site far from swimming and creek.
GuideThis was a spur-of-the-moment trip from NW Arkansas so we could dip our toes in the ocean in the middle of winter. It's unfortunate that you have to go through Port Arthur to get to the state park, but totally worth it once you get there. WARNING: the mosquitoes are serious here. We have an Aliner and although we use pool noodles to seal gaps in the A-frame's roof, they found a way in--hundreds of them. We only stayed the one night because of it. Having said that, if you have a class A/B/C camper, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it to tent campers even with the best bug spray...and we went in December! Clean, beautiful facilities. You can park in a site, or if you don't want/need utilities, you're allowed to camp on the beach.
GuideWe wanted to see the ocean and chose Sea Rim. It was interesting to drive through the oil refineries. Our check in by a park volunteer was helpful in choosing a beach spot and she informed us about tides and fishing. The wind pushed High tide a foot higher than expected but that didn’t scare us… too much. Checked weather and winds were going to die down for the next high tide so we stayed…. With the wind less… the MOSQUITOES swarmed and they were tiny!! They found spots to come through on our screens and we were eaten alive !! If you have a rig that has no crevices that the buggers can find a way in… you should be fine… shut your rig up before they come out!!!
GuideNice campsites. Clean, hot showers. There is frequent train noise at this campground.
GuideThis is a nice park, but it has a lot of mosquitos so bring your bug spray.
GuideSpending our 3rd night at Sea Rim tonight. The beach goes on forever; sand is packed hard enough to drive your RV out to camp on the beach and some do. Facility is well-maintained, staff go above and beyond call of duty and are friendly besides. We didn’t see any alligators (but it’s December) but saw plenty of evidence of wild hogs. It’s beautiful here but be warned that the mosquitos are horrendous!
GuideThe campsite is wonderful! We’re here in mid December and it’s been foggy both days, but beautiful. I would recommend that you bring a camper versus pop up due to the mosquitoes which are viscous.
RangerWe went for 4th of July and there was no one there. The black was clean and the water was clear! We saw a few alligators on the way in and there was a lot of fish!
GuideNice place for overnighting. Or camp for the 3 day limit. Nice clean park. Sites have concrete picnic tables. But bring a fly swatter for the mosquitoes. A couple got into my home on wheels and when I killed them they left a big bloodstain. Otherwise not a bad place. Is there is a shell gas station across the street for food and guess. They did have 2 bathroom houses only one of them was clean. No showers. There were water spickets all over the place. I don't know if it's potable or not. It was dry camping so I already came prepared. You do need a permit for 3 day stay limit. You can obtain one by going on the website and calling and talk to Brandy she will email you one. This is a County park.
RangerNot worth it. Over 50% of the park was closed and they cut a lot of the trees down to “make it better” no good fishing. Porta-potty’s we’re disgusting. Not much wildlife and over crowed
